Quote

No action is ever an isolated event. Always, it invites from the universe a reaction that corresponds exactly to the type and the force of energy behind the deed.

I am no longer the wave of consciousness thinking itself separated from the sea of cosmic consciousness. I am the ocean of Spirit that has become the wave of human life.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
The entire universe is God's cosmic motion picture, and that individuals are merely actors in the divine play who change roles through reincarnation mankind's deep suffering is rooted in identifying too closely with one's current role, rather than with the movie's director, or God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
If you open the door to the magnetic power of friendship, souls of like vibrations will be attracted to you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
It is foolish to be afraid of death. Just think. No more repaired tires on the body vehicle, no more patchwork living.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Self-realization means to know truth through yourself, and not through others. By seeking God first, through Self-realization, all things-strength, power, prosperity, wisdom, health, and immortality-will be added unto you.

Change your life by changing your thoughts.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Possession of material riches, without inner peace, is like dying of thirst while bathing in a lake. If material poverty is to be avoided, spiritual poverty is to be abhorred. For it is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
When you came into this world you cried, whereas everyone else rejoiced. During your lifetime, work and serve in such a way that when it is time for you to leave this world, you will smile at parting while the world cries for you. Hold this thought and you will always remember to consider others above yourself.

Image
Build your inner environment. Practice Silence! I remember the wonderful discipline of the Great Ones. When we used to talk and chatter, they would say: Go back into your inner castle. It was very hard to comprehend then, but now I understand the way of peace
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Just behind the darkness of closed eyes shines the light of God. When you behold that light in meditation, hold onto it with devotional zeal. Feel yourself inside it: That is where God dwells.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
In your heart must well that sympathy which soothes away all pains from the hearts of others.
Paramahansa Yogananda

No one appears on our stage unless the director has placed them there for our benefit
Paramahansa Yogananda

As God talked with Arjuna, so will He talk with you. As He lifted up the spirit and consciousness of Arjuna, so will He uplift you. As he granted Arjuna supreme spiritual vision, so will He confer enlightenment on you.

Brotherhood is an ideal better understood by example than precept!
Paramahansa Yogananda

Every tomorrow is determined by every today.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Sing songs that none have sung, think thoughts that ne'er in the brain have rung, Walk in paths that none have trod, weep tears as none have shed for God, Give peace to all to whom none other gave, Claim him your own who's everywhere disclaimed. Love all with love that none have felt and Brave the battle of life with strength unchained.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
God is love. His plan for creation can only be rooted in love. Does not that simple thought, rather than erudite reasoning, offer solace to the human heart?
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
One may have many teachers, but only one guru, who remains as one's guru even in many different lives, until the disciple reaches the final goal of emancipation in God. You must remember this, once that relationship is formed.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Mind is the creator of everything. You should therefore guide it to create only good. If you cling to a certain thought with dynamic will power, it finally assumes a tangible outward form. When you are able to employ your will always for constructive purposes, you become the controller of your destiny.

A saint is a sinner who never gave up.
